Contribution Overview
JideBuilder will let you create Jide components and standard Swing components as SwingBuilder does, because it doesn't override the default names of previously registered components in SwingBuilder, this means that you can mix both types of components with the same builder.
There are 5 *Searchable components that will add searching capabilities to a previously created widget or an internal one, exposing the searchable widget and the searchable wrapper if an 'id' attribute was provided, for example ComboBoxSearchable:
JIDE Common Layer defines a basic structure for dialogs with StandardDialog, which is an abstract class, you may create your own dialogs based on that template by calling 'standardDialog()', by default all 3 panels will be empty, but yout can provide your own content by calling 'dialogBannerPanel()', 'dialogContentPanel()' and 'dialogButtonPanel()' inside its closure.
All JTextComponents (even those created with regular SwingBuilder methods) will accept a 'selectAll' property, which will call com.jidesoft.swing.SelectAllUtils.install() on the component.
SearchableBar has an additional property 'install' which will register a SearchableBar.Installer automatically into the inmediate container. This property must be a Map and may have the following properties:
- constraints: must be a valid Object accepted by the container's layout (required).
- keyStroke: must be a javax.swing.KeyStroke, defaults to CTRL + F (optional).

Download
Installing
Drop jidebuilder-4.0 into $GROOVY_HOME/lib along with its dependencies
Maven
Gradle
The jar file for svg-salamander-1.1 is missing from Maven's central repo. You must download from here and configure your build/classpath appropriately.
Pre-requisites
Groovy 1.8.8 is the required minimum version to run JideBuilder 6.0
Previous versions of JideBuilder will run with earlier versions of Groovy, it is recommended that you upgrade to the 1.8.x series in order to take advantage of
- @Bindable and ASTTransformations
- short binding syntax
- numerous enhancements made to SwingBuilder and FactoryBuilderSupport
